What to do and see in Tverskaya, Central Russia: The Best Sights & Landmarks
The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 10 million. Catch a metro from one of the ornate stations to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols of Moscow's great and terrible past, then lighten up and shop Boulevard Ring or people watch in Pushkin Square.

The oldest theater in Moscow, rebuilt following a fire and later a hurricane, is magnificent both inside and out, and its resident opera and ballet troupes rate among the finest in the world.

ABOVE ALL ELSE use the official website and ignore all others. We booked for the ballet, scheduled for the 30th April, which was of course cancelled due to the virus. The refund appeared on my credit card exactly 30 days later, exactly as promised. Booking was straightforward, and prices cheaper than the Royal Opera House, and we managed to book the front Row, Seats A6 and 7! Communications, in English and Russian, were excellent. I would not hesitate to use that official website in future -most impressive, secure and efficient.

Because his mother was Gytha of Wessex, daughter of Harald Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England. I bet practically no-one, either in my country or abroad, knows it. Since I live in Moscow, I saw this monument maybe several hundred times. Last time I did it was in December when the square around was being adorned with magnificent New Year illumination and shimmering decorations. This spot is one of the most beautiful in the city these days, by the way. Looking at this gentleman's equestrian statue I thought that he had not looked as gorgeous as a Soviet sculptor depicted him. The prince had not been tall, just about 160 centimeters, and suffered from osteochondrosis and spinal disc herniation. It's also funny to note that, while not founding Moscow at all, he just invited in that very 1147 one of his cronies to a party in that small settlement - i.e., to booze - and it was this "historic" event that was fixed by a medieval Russian chronicler. (Not a word about next day's hangover, though.) Still, I like the monument and consider it a real decoration of the city. Strange that communists created such a beauty.

The Stanislavsky Electrotheatre is located in the heart of Moscow, on Tverskaya Street 23, and was founded almost a century ago in 1915 as the cinema palace — the Ars electrotheatre. After the revolution it became home to Konstantin Stanislavsky's opera and drama studio, and not long after that, the Stanislavsky Drama Theatre. The symbolic legacy of these three locations, a cinema, an opera studio and a dramatic theatre, has been fully endorsed by the Stanislavsky Electrotheatre as it launches a new era. In collaboration with The Wowhaus Studio — the architectural bureau responsible for numerous major architectural and design projects in Moscow in recent years, including the building of the Strelka Institute and the redesign of Gorky Park — Yukhananov undertook a full-scale reconstruction of the old interior of the building, creating a new, multi-functional platform not only for theatre, but for exhibitions, lectures and performance art.
